Not far out from the city of Warrnambool is Australia's most extensive Volcano Province and Tower Hill, which we visited. It is one of the worlds largest Nested Maars - a maar is a broad, low-relief volcanic crater which fills water. Below is a painting of the perimeter of the Tower Hill as it was in the 1850's. Below a real life Emu standing guard beside a welcoming sign to the park.
Below are pictures of Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village which is a reconstruction of the 1800s port village. There is an interesting collection of material salvaged from some of the shipwrecks in the area. There are over 30 buildings, including an inn, newspaper office, blacksmith and tearooms serving refreshments.
During our visit to the Botanical Gardens we spotted a very tame white faced heron at the edge of the large duck pond.

Below more pictures of the wonderful old property whose roots go back to the 1850’s, owned by a friend
of one our friends.
Notice the spinning wheel in the corner.
